Lapidaries & Gem Cutters

Search for lapidaries and gem cutters under this Yellow Pages® heading. Lapidaries and gem cutters provide services that range from precious stone cutting, stones and gemstone polishing, and jewellery making. They also provide gem cutting equipment for sale or for hire. Gem cutters can take rare stones and turn them into wearable pieces such as earrings, pendants, and rings, as well as ornaments such as decorative clocks, and desk display pieces. Polished gems can also be used as corporate gifts and trophies. They can also provide commissioned gem cutting, where stone collectors request jewellery sets made from their precious stone collections.

Gem cutters are skilled craftsmen that are able to use traditional and modern methods to work high value gemstones such as Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds and turn them into polished jewellery pieces. They can also provide recutting and polishing of gemstones that are scratched and damaged, or cutting and polishing of rough and raw gems. Lapidaries also provide engraving services on precious gemstones.

Aside from the services already mentioned, some providers also sell professional lapidary equipment like engraving and polishing machines. Some companies also sell core saw blades specifically designed for precision core cutting. These blades are suited for cutting through both hard and soft rocks. Most providers also offer custom services for specific projects. They can make furniture with gemstones inlays, trophies and presentation pieces, decorative clocks, and gem crusted coasters and penholders. Lapidaries and gem cutters – aside from forming and finishing stone, mineral, gemstones –  also work on other suitably durable materials such as amber, shells, jet, pearl, copal, coral, horn and bone, glass and other synthetics into functional and decorative, even wearable items.
